Wall charger/USB stopped working, strange solution - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Ok so I didn't know how to word the title lol. I woke up this morning my nexus was plugged in through USB to the wall, working just fine. I drove to work and plugged it in like I always do. Left work I do the same thing usually, plug it in on the way home and it was charging. I get home and plug it in to my ps3, nothing. so then I try the wall charger, again nothing. So I restart numerous times, then turn it completely off, still not charging. I then decided I'll make a backup on cwm and restore it. Charging from USB port works again now.
Sorry for the long explanation it's just really weird and I was wondering if anyone else had anything like this happen top them?
I forgot to mention I'm running the latest eclipse ROM with the latest trinity kernel (384 gpu)

[HELP] Evo only charges when off

i'm running a Gingerbread build based off of the latest nightly with stock kernel.
i've formatted my device with the formatall.zip and reloaded the ROM. i've even gone back to a stock ROM and still got the same issue. after doing this, if i plug my device up, it charges just fine while on. if i unplug the device later and plug it back up, the charging light will come on, then quickly go off and the device won't charge.
the only way i've been able to get around this is to turn it off, in which case it then charges. i get these same results whether i'm plugged into the wall or to PC.
if it were a hardware issue, wouldn't that mean it wouldn't charge at all, whether on or off?
anyone have any ideas or experience with this issue?
Same Here...
Anyone found solution yet?
My only guess would be a kernel issue or a hardware problem. Wipe your dalvik and cache and reflash your kernel. If that doesn't fix it, I do know some evo's micro usb ports go bad. I don't know if this is a symptom of that but it may be.
Thanks alot **TheSilverStig **
It was the kernel.
My phone is charging now...
Will test for a couple days and will let you know again..
For some reason www dot qap dotla/~netarchy/ is not working (Error 404)
Try http home(dot)comcast(dot)net/~evoreviews/downloads(dot)html
For now...
For me
netarchy-toastmod-4.3.1-cfs-havs-nosbc worked...
Hope that helps for you too...
Good Luck
*Happy Rooting*

Youve tried two different power sources, what about a different USB cable? Had that issue before where the cable was bad and only noticed when other USB devices werent connecting through it..or intermittently.
yes i tried different usb cables, different power outlets and different computer's.
also i noticed that when its actually charging on the PC, i don't get the small usb icon on the notification to copy files from pc .. i need to power off/on the phone.
ever happened to anyone ?

Ive never read that here, i have a Telus one also and it shows up right away. The odd time ive noticed that ill hear the usb unplug/replug sound from my pc and the phone will show the USB Connected on the status bar as though it somehow reset its connection. But never had an issue where it stays disconnected.
I also only got that issue with certain roms, i dont remember which though. I ran painlessly on Juggernaut for a while and right now im on Touchless and its also perfect.
I am running on Juggernaut, i recently did a clean install (wipe data .. everything) i was having few issues, i though maybe that would fix the issue.
the phone at times thinks that i have plugged the charger in to charge
and u see the battery icon changing. weird...
Have you tried charging with the phone powered down?

[Q] VZW Galaxy Nexus MHL and usb to pc isssues.

A few months ago I plugged my gn into the pc and nothing happened. The pc use to recognize it and i would transfer files ect. now nothing. I have turned off usb fast charge and it still doesnt work. I also just purchased a samsung MHL and it doesnt work either. I had it plugged in and turned on NFL mobile app and it said (error tv out plugged in) so the phone knows it is there but i get nothing out to the tv. yes I have the power plugged into the device. The phone screen does go into side view as soon as I plug it in but nothing shows up on the tv. Im wondering if something is wrong with my phone or if there is a setting im not aware of since both of these are not working.
Im running aokp jb 3 and faux kernel. I would appreciate any help with these issues.

Try flashing a different kernel for ****'s and giggles. I haven't used MHL with faux yet but I know it works on LeanKernel. Just a shot in the dark.
~~~~There is no spoon~~~~
even i am facing the same issue. i have stock jb version on my galaxy nexus (intl version) and when i connect the MHL cable, the screen rotates side ways but nothing gets displayed on TV. let me know if you have tried flashing with a different kernel. Appreciate your help.

Note 2 Rogers Canada acting very very strange

Hey Guys,
So i've done some research all evening here and I've done nothing different than i'd do any other day with the phone and all of a sudden today around 6 PM eastern the phone started acting up. I came home from work plugged it in and it started to lag and then froze, finally unfroze and got that error " Unfortunately, %1$S %2$S has stopped running. I only have the option to click (ok) So I would do that and I thought all was well, turns out this is not the case. When this error pops up it also disables the phone from charging. I unplug and plug back in, the phone starts to freeze and the error comes back. I've been doing some online re-search some people say it's a synch issue with google and to turn synch of, did so, still same error. Some people have said unplug charger, power off phone wait 10 seconds, plug charger back on and boot up, this also did not resolve my issue. I will say that if the power cable is not in the device, it works fine. After about 2 hours of trying different things, I plugged it back into the charger and the phone started acting out really strange, changing from screen to screen and indicating " The dock is connected" I don't own a dock and the phone has never been into dock. I'm using the stock charger that came with the Note 2.
I will say I have TWRP installed and I've been using the JEDI X Rom for this phone without any problems. I thought, okay well none of this is working maybe it's the rom acting up, so I decided to go into recovery wipe all cache & system and re-installed the rom, same thing. The dock is connected, phone freezing and Unfortunately, %1$S %2$S has stopped running. So, I re-did everything again, wiped all cache systems, fixed permission and put the stock rom back on the phone. Now the phone is indicating in stock mode that the "dock is connected" when really it's just the charger. The phone is going into the time out then pops back on automatically all by it's self. Not getting the Unfortunately, %1$S %2$S has stopped running anymore though. the phone is 3 weeks old, and i'm at a loss here as to what I should do next.
Any suggestions, if not, Is there away to erase the phone "call" time so I can get it down to below 30 minutes so I can return this one for a new one?
Thanks,
Well, after hours of reading, I came across this post for an Android EVO phone and it mentioned something about a connect point of the charging port in the phone and said slightly bend the charger cable when it's attached inside, I tried this at a last cause and everything fixed itself, I re-flashed Jedi X and all errors have cleared itself. I find it strange because I'm very gentle with inserting/disconnecting these cables...
Thanks,
I'm not surprised. I've had similar issues with a S2 and other Sammy phones. In fact my brothers Galaxy S as well. He had to get the whole board replaced. I hate MicroUsb. Although its nice to have a generic sync port that is the same across almost all Android devices, this port needs to change.
Just my $0.02. Glad to see you figured it out. Knock on wood my Note2 hasent had these issues yet.

[Q] OTG Charge + USB Host Plug and Unplug Timur Alternative

Hello all,
I have a nexus 7 2013 and I am looking for a kernel that supports otg plus charge. Now, I know elemental x (by flar2) and a few others have this but the ones I have found do not support hot swap, or unplug and replug without rebooting. I am pretty sure Timurs kernel supports this but he wants $36 to buy it and I would rather not spend the money without trying it out first. Specifically, I have a fixed in-car installation and a febon100 UVC video grabber to display a backup camera. When the car shuts off, the febon will be disconnected from the usb side of the nexus, and the only way to reconnect it is to reboot the tablet with power connected. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for the help.
Ok so I figured part of it out. After the device looses and regains power, these two commands simulate the usb disconnect and reconnect and seems to work (only tried it a couple times)...
Code:
echo "2-0:1.0" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/hub/unbind
echo "2-0:1.0" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/hub/bind
However, I have another issue. I am using the elementalx kernel on android 4.4.4 (currently on Carbon rom but have tried stock and other roms as well with same outcome). When the tablet reboots with the otg cable connected, it does not charge when it first starts up. To charge it, I have to physically unplug and replug the cord in the nexus. Any ideas?

Just use tasker to run the commands at startup...
Does this set of command still work with lollipop? I just tried a few times and it seems to have made no difference.
Thanks in advance!
Yeah im in the same boat. Soooooo many problems with this ****ty tablet. Knew i should have installed an iPad. They said this is the 'best' of android. It's ****ing terrible. People who are thinking of installing an android into your car? A word of advise. Dont do it.

It's been almost a year any way to accomplish charging without having to physically unplug the OTG and plug it back in. Im have timurs kernel but I want to use elemental so I can use marshmallow. Timur accomplished it somehow. Someone has to know how.

It is actually trivially easy to accomplish - on any kernel - it is called Qi Wireless Charging.

Test results for Android 6.0.1 Stock + Kernel 'Quanta-V7-Flo' with active 'USB Host Mode Charging' and inactive 'fast charging' (N7 is only is use when its connected to the USB Power):
Ampere values checked with one of the cheap 'USB Charger Doctor Voltage Current Meter Mobile Battery Tester':
0.45 A for N7 only
0.61 A for N7 + USB Ethernet adapter
I don't use the N7 in a car setup but this should be important for such setups:
-If the USB Y cable is connected before powering on the N7, the USB device was usable in Android after startup without need for reconnecting the USB cable
-If the USB was unplugged and reconnected the device, it was usable in Android
-Important: If the N7 goes to sleep, it can't recover the USB charging and USB devices after waking. You should set the display timeout to always on, which is right for a car setup or am I'm wrong?
I'm happy! :good:
I tried quanta. It does work except for on initial boot. Have to unplug and plug it back in to charge. Then it works fine turning the key on and off for power. However it doesn't mount the OTG devices again without unplugging it and plugging it back in.
Edit: I also have another problem was at work and didn't have time to add it. But my Nexus thinks it's still charging after disconnecting it from power supply through the OTG cable. When I turn the key off it quits charging for about 1 second then switch's back to saying it's charging again and continues to say it's charging even after cycling the key on and off. Only way to fix it is to disconnect the OTG straight from the tablet and plug it back in or boot it into recovery then back to system. Has done this thru multiple roms and kernels. Only kernel it doesn't do it on is Quanta. The thing is it didn't use to do it at all no matter what rom or kernel I was using. I even went as far as to change the charging port board cause I had another one in a old junk Nexus I have and still didn't fix it.

I've used it before but not on my current setup.
Assuming one of these kernels provides OTG + Fast Charging, what are the options for the Power-Down + Deep Sleep, then Power-Up + Wake?
